Preputioplasty for Phimosis in NJ

Is there any way to find someone in NJ who would do this procedure with out me literally calling each office?
I'd like to avoid a full circumcision if possible, but the urologist I went to didn't even know about it, and was pretty incredulous that I'd want to keep my foreskin. There is some info on the internet about folks getting this done, so I know it's available in the US, but I'd love to avoid calling every urologist individually till I find one. Is there an agency or a service that could look this kind of thing up?
Bonus points if you have a direct recommendation.
PS: I will be trying the steroid cream first, but I don't have high hopes.

Not answering your question, but – I did the stretching thing (didn't even use steroid creams) when I was a teenager and have never had any problems since. Takes a few weeks.

I wish the urologist I went to thirty years ago had understood that systematically and progressively stretching a foreskin is really not that different from systematically and progressively stretching an ear piercing, and had advised me to spend at least a year on trying that before resorting to any surgery.
